- Two citation reports (Web of Science and Scopus)

- Copies of most relevant publications (Maximum of five)

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high volume of applications that we receive only applications submitted through the online application system will be considered. Applications received by the advertised deadline will receive full consideration. However, positions will remain open until filled. 

2-D Material Design, Synthesis & Properties

  • The candidate should have extensive knowledge and experience in 2D materials growth by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and experience with CVD systems.  This includes growth of materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides, graphene, and their heterostructures. The candidate is also expected to have experience in characterization and device applications of 2D materials.
    The successful applicant should have a proven track record in publishing high-impact papers, and is expected to establish a thriving research program. Engaging in national and international scientific collaborations is part of the KAUST spirit. Commitment to high-quality teaching at the graduate level, and active participation in the KAUST academic and community life is what makes KAUST faculty unique.
